This curation is genuinely exceptional. The framing of concept albums as theatrical devices for self-mythologization is so smart, it recontextualizes these records beyond mere disco into performative art. Had no idea Heather Parisi did an entire album on insects, thats wild. Coming from my background in film studies, it makes sense why 80s disco ans cinematic storytelling became so intertwined.
Thank you for your very kind comment! Heather’s albums are surprisingly multi-layered, especially considering that she started off as a dancer, not as a vocalist.
I (Angelica) have been thinking a lot about theatrical self-mythologization in relation to camp a lot lately :)
Ti piacerebbe is the coolest song I’ve heard in a looong time.
